I picked up an Ovation 6756LX Legend a few months ago. It looks like it will need a neck reset. Fortunately, this model has a bolt-on neck, and a reset seems to require just loosening the neck…Continue

I am really surprised at how little there is 'out there' about the Ovation nylon string guitar model 6773 LX.Why IS that? Both the OvationTribute page (ovationtribute.com) and the OFC forums state…Continue

The closing of domestic production for Ovation has saddened me. Not that I think that the guitars that will arrive from overseas will be awful or not true to the creativity of Kaman but still I find it sobering and a wee bit depressing. There are now 50 people about to be out of work and the Ovation, which revolutionized guitar construction, is just not what it was. This also impacts the domestic production of Guild Guitars.

My 2009 idea Celebrity still sings for me. The MP3 comes in handy when I play songwriter rounds because it can offer killer backing tracks. Ovation sound is hard to beat, but Martin and Taylor keep on trying.

In error I posted a picture of an Applause AA-31. I do not have one of these. It is an AA-32. Now...I know that this group tends toward the higher end roundbacks. But I love this guitar. I have about 45 guitars and when I walk into what is designated as the "The Guitar Room" the one I keep picking up is this one time and time again. I love how it looks and I love how it sounds. The shot below is for model only it isn't a picture of mine but mine looks just like it.

Thanks everyone, for your informative comments on my Balladeer. I'm going to tweak my Craig's List ad a bit and hold out for at least $400 - this instrument is WORTH that.... and you've all helped me feel more confident about not caving in to the guys who say, "OH Man you are asking WAY too much for one of THOSE."

I also have one of the AA14s with the aluminum neck. A very thin neck and I have hands that seem a little large for it but I really like it. Anybody know if the AA32 had an aluminum neck? I don't think so. Thanks.
